Chapter 382 Famous Alcoholic Doctor: How about Dr. House? Chuck:(1/2)
"Then just invite him directly!"
Lucy's eyes lit up: "I believe him!"
"If necessary, we will."
Detective Amy Santiago explained to Lucy that not all cases would be taken on by Detective Chuck. She thought she would have to explain more, but who would have thought that Lucy would easily accept this statement.
The next day.
New York NYPD 99 Precinct.
“You want to investigate the manslaughter of an emergency room doctor?”
The middle-aged African-American director looked at the two people expressionlessly.
"It's not us who want to investigate, but the family members..."
Amy Santiago respected authority the most and always wanted the branch director to be her mentor, so she was always a little flustered when facing the expressionless director.
"yes!"
The annoyed detective shouted directly without any hesitation.
He has always hated following rules and likes to challenge authority, and is not affected by the director's reaction at all.
And to be honest, their new director has always had this expression, with no hint of happiness or anger at all, and he looks a bit like Chuck.
In fact, they had made a bet specifically for this, which one, Chuck or the Director, could see through the joy and anger more, but unfortunately there was no way to know who would lose and who would win.
"Just because a veteran with PTSD said his daughter was not that sick?"
The African-American director continued to speak expressionlessly.
"That was just the reason. We went back to the interns, residents, and attending doctors who had taken over. The only difference was that we didn't go to the director of the Department of Surgery, the famous Dr. Edward Oster!"
Detective Amy Santiago explained: "Their attitude is really suspicious. One moment they say the condition is not serious, the next moment they say the condition is very serious and need to be sent to the intensive care unit immediately, the next moment they say it is bronchitis, and the next moment they say it is...
Pneumonia, the resident doctor didn’t even dare to make eye contact with us.”
"Why are you talking so much?"
Detective Shenfan said loudly: "I believe that retired soldier! He went to war for the country and fought bravely abroad. For this reason, he suffered from PTSD. This is their meritorious service. No one should question their professional ability because of this.
They know life and death better than they do, so yes, just because this veteran with PTSD said that his daughter is not that serious, even if I don't believe it 100%, I must devote 100% of my energy and time to investigating the case.
These heroes do their part! Sir!"
"..."
Detective Amy Santiago looked at her impassioned partner in surprise. Although she knew that the other party always liked to be so exaggerated, at this time, she and she were originally using facts to convince the director. Why did she suddenly use such a illogical and evidence-based approach?
He answered the director's questions with passionate and irrational answers.
Then she followed the annoyed detective's gaze and caught a glimpse of the photo on her director's desk. It was a photo of the director when he was serving as a soldier abroad. She understood everything instantly and cursed in her heart.
"This horse photo...is really yours!"
"good!"
The African-American director of the 99th Precinct remained expressionless, but his attitude was already expressed in his words: "We will not let any criminal go, even doctors!"
"Okay, sir!"
The annoyed detective immediately agreed loudly.
"but!"
The African-American director stopped the troubled detective who was about to leave immediately, and reminded him expressionlessly: "Remember, this case must be handled flawlessly. I need the most solid evidence before I decide whether to report the case to the prosecutor.
They sued!"
"Perfect?"
Detective Amy Santiago immediately felt the pressure: "But doctors' diagnosis often relies on subjective judgment. Unless we have the cooperation of prosecutors and courts and put enough pressure on them to make them admit it personally, it will be difficult for us to find out.
The most solid evidence, and if, as you said, sir, we don’t report it without the most solid evidence, we don’t have enough means to make them feel the pressure..."
"I don't want excuses!"
The African-American director interrupted expressionlessly: "I know all these difficulties, but you must do what I say, otherwise I will not agree to open the case!"
"Why?"
Detective Amy Santiago said in confusion: "I know that the doctor and we both belong to the big police system, and to some extent we are our own people, but if the doctor commits a crime, we must also arrest him."
"That's what I said~"
Detective Frustrated winked at Detective Amy Santiago, with a connotative expression of 'you are already my shape'.
“This is an election year!”
The African-American director looked at each other for a while and these two careless men, and then slowly uttered a sentence.
"so?"
Detective Amy Santiago did not react immediately.
"Election year haha, got it!"
Detective Shenfan snapped his fingers and explained to his unresponsive partner: "The director is not trying to protect his own people, but since he is ready to investigate, he will do something big. Once there are problems in the investigation, he will deal with those involved."
All the doctors involved will sue, and they will even sue the entire hospital and the entire medical system! Only such a case can be sensational enough and show enough political achievements, and all of this must have enough solid evidence to ensure 100% success, otherwise
It’s better not to do it, otherwise you won’t be able to show your face, but your butt will be exposed instead, which would be bad!”
"So that's it."
Only then did Detective Amy Santiago realize that there were political factors involved, and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the most solid evidence I understand is not solid enough, Director, so it will be difficult for us to complete the task!"
"This is your business!"
The African-American director looked at Detective Shenfan expressionlessly: "You have always boasted that you are also a detective, now is the time for you to show off..."
Having said this, he pointed to the door: "Go out now, don't turn around, face me, and go out backwards!"
"..."
Detective Shenfan and Detective Amy Santiago both heard the cold humor in their chief's words, and the corners of their mouths twitched together.
This reminds them again, based on what Detective Shennuo just said, that in this case, you can only show your face, not your butt!
Under the expressionless gaze of the African-American director, they could only step back and go out. After closing the door, Detective Shenfan clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, Santiago, are you excited or not? This time we will completely prove it."
It’s our detective’s time.”
After saying this, seeing that his partner ignored him, he looked over and immediately shouted dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"
"Instead of proving that we are detectives, we should find real detectives!"
Detective Amy Santiago answered while dialing the phone, slapping away the hand of the annoying detective who came to grab the phone. When the call was connected, her face automatically switched to a smiley face: "Chuck, are you busy? We are
There is a case..."
Without saying a few words, and before the annoying police detective could yell over to stop him, Detective Amy Santiago had already hung up the phone with a smile.
“Amy Santiago!!!”
Detective Shenfan shouted loudly: "Do you still have any dignity and pride as a police detective? At this moment when we can best prove ourselves, you actually called for foreign help immediately?
Although you were a stinker in the past, at least you were very proud and confident that you would be an excellent police detective.
But now you are really crippled by Chuck!
Go to him whenever you have difficulties. If you do this, you will never have the chance to be on your own in this life!
I said!"
"Time is running out, the most important thing now is to find the most solid evidence to file a case against Susan Wardricky!"
Detective Amy Santiago smiled calmly and said: "Then give justice to Susan Wardricky. Compared with this result, nothing else is the most important!
As for what you said, my confidence in the past is now disabled?
you are wrong!
I used to be confident, it was confidence that I was an excellent detective.
But after meeting Detective Chuck, I knew that I was far from being a detective.
For this kind of thing, instead of taking the initiative to get closer to the real detective, study hard, and improve your limits, instead, you blindly believe that Chuck is a detective and you can also be a detective?
That's not confidence!
But conceited!
Such people will never grow up to be true detectives!
Um.
I said!"
"...Chuck just agreed? He didn't even listen to your introduction."
Detective Shenfan was speechless by his partner's words. He looked at her in surprise for a while, then he ignored the topic and started to pay attention to the question that made him a little strange.
To be continued...
